Anmaat the ace in Prince of Wales's Stakes pack

ANMAAT can reverse Curragh form with Los Angeles in the Prince of Wales's Stakes, the highlight on day two of Royal Ascot.

Owen Burrows’ charge is now a seven-year-old but rather than his powers waning, the Awtaad gelding only seems to be getting better.

Having made his racecourse bow at the back end of 2020 - when he was second to no less than multiple Group One scorer Rebel's Romance - Anmaat was viewed as handicap material at three, ending his campaign by finishing second in the Cambridgeshire from a mark of 98.

Three runs in 2022 yielded three wins, including his first two Group-race strikes and it looked as though 2023 was going to be a big year when he scored an initial Group One success in the Prix d’Ispahan.

Injury intervened though and he was off the track for 439 days before returning with a win at Haydock, which quickly escalated into a shock 40-1 success in the Champion Stakes to round off the year.
